Why It Matters

Cardinal Flower — that blazing red native wildflower of Appalachian streams — is one of the few flowers that hummingbirds have co-evolved with, its tubular shape perfectly designed for the birds that pollinate it. Barberry has been used in traditional medicine across Asia and Europe for thousands of years, its bright berries a source of berberine, one of the most powerful naturally occurring antibiotics known. And Thistle — the national emblem of Scotland since the 13th century — represents the fierce protection of something worth defending. These three botanicals together make a piece of jewelry that is genuinely, botanically extraordinary.
